The Impact of Nutrient Depletion on Skin Health

Nutrient depletion plays a significant role in skin aging, as evidenced by a study highlighting the decline of essential nutrients in American produce from 1950 to 1999. Key nutrients like vitamin C, protein, and iron have been shown to be significantly reduced, affecting skin health and contributing to aging. As people grow older, a deficiency in these nutrients can become even more pronounced, which may necessitate supplementation for optimal skin health. Incorporating a whole foods diet and considering a multivitamin can help mitigate nutrient depletion and support overall well-being.
